Please don’t forget to use the spoiler tag as soon as you start talking about a storyline.
Still playing a lot of Lies of P recently while trying to go for 100%. I underestimated how long this’ll take honestly, it seems like you need to do 3 separate playthroughs and be very careful about easily missable quests and records. Same shenanigans as dark souls really.
Still, it’s a really fun game. Highly recommended to anyone who enjoys the souls games.
Currently taking my sweet time playing No Man’s Sky. I bought it on release, never played until recently, and couldn’t be happier. Avoiding the story, building a massive base, and exploring the cosmos has never been so satisfying. Next up on my list of games to check out again is Cyberpunk. Everyone and their mother says it’s better now, so I figure it’s worth a shot.
I was playing the new DLC recently and I encountered some brand new bugs that I didn’t see on my first playthrough. Sometimes after completing a quest, the game would just lock me out of certain features like the map, journal, inventory, phone, etc. only way to fix it was to reload.
First thing that I did in the DLC was to start an original game mission that I hadn’t done on this character but I couldn’t complete it. I think that it was the one with Lizzy where you had to get into a nightclub and talk to someone. I couldn’t get past the bouncer even though I had max street cred and the two side entrances were also not active.
I’ve done the mission in another character with no issues.
I’ve been playing the Cyberpunk DLC and just finished that last night. Aside from some annoying bugs that was pretty fun.
I’m nearing the end of my first BG 3 playthrough that I’ve been streaming with a friend. We decided to go Dark Urge and it’s made this kind of a weird first playthrough. It’s been fun but I think in hindsight it would have been better to have a more normal first run then go back for this. Also, found a kind of funny bug (?) in the vampire boss fight. The boss has some property that says he can’t be moved by physical or magical means. But when I threw that legendary spear that has a knock back AoE, it sent him off the cliff and that was the fight aside from mopping up the ads.
Aside from that I’m always playing TFT occasionally. I climbed higher than I ever did before: 200 LP masters before I hit another funk and started backsliding.
My first playthrough right now is also Dark Urge. I thought it would be especially hard as a good character (Paladin/Bard) but at the beginning of Act 2 I have to say: apart from an early Camp event there was nothing problematic Dark Urge related until now. Mostly murderous thoughts I could ignore without any dice rolls and a few more Camp events that only added some flavour.
I figured it just made sense to lean into it once I realized what it was. I didn’t go FULL murder hobo, but I ended up doing enough to trigger a bunch of special quest stuff unique to the Dark Urge. I still think this was probably better as a 2nd play through, but I was pretty satisfied with all the content the game had to fill the gaps caused by me… suddenly cutting off some quest lines.
I just finished playing Submachine: Legacy. I was really looking forward to it, and it surpassed my expectations. It is a remaster of the whole Submachine series of flash games, but a lot of stuff has been reworked and improved from the originals. There was actually a fairly significant amount of new content, so even though I was already familiar with the originals, I ended up spending the whole weekend playing it.
I am currently playing hogwarts legacy on the ps5. Since I don’t get much playing time during the week it’s taking a long time but I am enjoying my hufflepuff character.
Still on NFS Heat and have been playing a bit of Kaze and the Wild Masks (or so), both games are enjoyable enough in their own right but won‘t make it on any of my top lists.
Currently jumping around between Cyberpunk 2077, Armored Core 6, and Overwatch 2. Since beating Baldur’s Gate 3 most of the games that I played pale in comparison.
I got super into Rimworld this last month and had a blast. I am also closing out my first playthrough of BG3, doing it with a friend so it’s taking a bit longer. Picked up the new Cyberpunk DLC but haven’t really had a chance to dig into it yet.
Currently have been playing a fair amout Stormworks: Build and Rescue and the new Space dlc, unfortunately there are a fair amount of bugs but it’s still quite fun.
The other game I am playing a lot of is Deep Rock Galactic
Age of empires 2. Bloody hell, this 22 year old game is getting another dlc. It’s gona be a pain in the ass for the devs but the game is as balanced as ever and we’ll enjoy it till the servers go down.
I went on a binge with that game recently. It is amazingly deep, I never got near all the possible ways to play. I was mostly enjoying getting my ass kicked by the computer in multiplayer.
Fun game. I'll probably get back to it eventually. Seems like it will be around forever.
ETA: There's a pretty large AOE2 community on Reddit (still? IDK?) and frequent vids on YT. I remember some very detailed analysis vids on YT when updates came out. And competitive is still a thing too.
